Serious question - any tips for auscultation of L 4th IC (LLSB) & L 5th MC (Apex) on a large breasted female? This can be both awkward & difficult to actually auscultate effectively (especially the Mitral Valve / Apex), so any tips are greatly appreciated!

[outofindia]

Thank you so much sir for such explanation ❤️

[amjadibrahim]

Thanks for such a great precise work
It helped me alot ❤️

Is it normal that I sometimes feel mine stronger in the pulmonic and other times I feel it stronger in the tricuspid valve? It sometimes shifts with breathing, it’s weird

Do the tricuspid and mitral spots move a long way down and out in cardiomegaly?
